Integrated Defense Effects — Nine Desired Effects

Foundation

9 ID Effects Foundation
Commanders execute integrated defense with the objective of achieving NINE desired effects based on the risk management process.

Nine Desired Effects

9 Desired Effects.
  1. Anticipate
  2. Deter
  3. Detect
  4. Assess
  5. Warn
  6. Defeat
  7. Delay
  8. Defend
  9. Recover

Anticipate

Anticipate
Anticipate threat intentions and actions:
  • Intelligence preparation of the operational environment
  • Crime trend analysis

Deter

Deter
Deter threat activity through:
  • Active community policing
  • Boundary and internal circulation control
  • Controlled area marking
  • Prudent physical security measures

Detect

Detect
Detect threats through the use of:
  • Lighting
  • Intrusion detection systems/early warning systems
  • Closed-circuit television

Assess

Assess
Assess to identify friend or foe using:
  • Cameras
  • Posted sentries
  • Response forces
  • Intrusion detection systems

Warn

Warn
Warn friendly forces of adversary activity through systems, such as:
  • Mass notification
  • Radio
  • Public address
  • Commander's access channels
  • Voice, hand and arm signals
  • Cellular telephones
  • Instant messenger/short message system texting

Defeat

Defeat
Defeat threats through:
  • Appropriate, progressive force application
  • Coordinated security force response
  • Integration of forces

Delay

Delay
Delay adversaries using a layered application of:
  • Barriers
  • Obstacles
  • Technology
  • Physical security measures
  • Forces
Defense-in-Depth
Another way to say this is to apply defense-in-depth procedures.

Defend

Defend
Defend assets through threat- and effects-based planning that:
  • Integrates all friendly forces into a single, comprehensive plan
  • Ensures friendly forces are trained and qualified on arming and use of force
  • Ensures fighting positions are established where prudent, based on risk analyses

Recover

Recover
Recover from adversarial events by:
  • Applying effective command and control
  • Developing and exercising Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 10-2

Application of Effects

Application of Effects
Integrated defense desired effects are NOT randomly applied to an installation; they are deliberately achieved through innovative and reliable tactics, techniques, and procedures based on integrated defense risk management process and analysis.

Sequential Application Example

Sequential Application Example
An example of systematic application:
  • Preferred to deter a threat
  • If that does not succeed, the next ideal effect would be to detect the threat
  • Once detected, assessment by forces occurs
  • Friendly forces are then warned of the threat
  • Attempts are made to defeat or eliminate the threat
  • If the threat cannot be defeated, it must be delayed
  • If delay is not possible, defensive measures must be taken to mitigate the effects of the threat
  • Recovery actions are then implemented to consolidate and reorganize friendly forces and restore operations
